About Leslie Mulligan

Hi, I’m Leslie. I help individuals ages 14-90, couples, families, and groups. I’ve been a mental health therapist for over 24 years. I help people find peace from mood instability; relationship, intimacy and family problems; health, sleep and career stress; aging, death, bereavement; sexuality, life-stage, and spiritual challenges. I provided military combat and sexual trauma recovery services to active, reserve, guard members and their families, and first responders for a decade.

My counseling approach is warm, direct, present-centered, creative and interactive. I am an objective, non-judgemental therapist with wide experience to help you clarify this stage of your journey. My trauma-sensitive approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, mindfulness, wellness and art therapy tools. Our dialog, guided by your specific needs and goals, is to deepen your enjoyment of your life and empower your being.

I value being human – with respect, honesty and cultural sensitivity. I am a holistic, body-centered practitioner. Mind, body, heart, thought, spirit and life experiences all contribute to life quality and meaning. My joy is to get you to your “there”.

Let’s connect to make it better for you.

Leslie

“A true gem of support and love! She gets me.”

“I recommend better help every time "therapy" leaves a friends mouth. I'm overjoyed to be checking in with Leslie after a therapy siesta this summer, and make sure I'm using my tools to the best of my ability!”

“Leslie Mulligan has "walked" with me through enormous life change for 9 months now. I see my progress, and my life blossoming before my eyes because she has been here, present with me on live session and via messaging. She has worked magic and has helped me SEE and KNOW my own, and believe me, it is vast.”

“Leslie's warmth instantly helped me to feel like I had a supporter and someone who understood my situation. She cheered me on through the big and the small challenges, and helped me to get to know myself better. I am so grateful for all her help, her words and guidance will stay with me for a very long time.”

“"Strongly Agree" is not enough to even begin. Best choose I have ever made. Thank you Leslie, and thank you Better Help for sending her to me.”

“Leslie is amazing, empathetic, understanding. She has the ability to connect with people that is rare and she truly has been a bright spot in my life.”

“I have been participating in counseling with Leslie via video appointment for 3 weeks now. She has helped me to recognize my deep sense of self, and the value in it. To anyone seeking or thinking about therapy, please do it! There is a bright world for us to fully enjoy! Thank you Leslie!”

“Leslie and I have had 3 sessions.<br /> And man... what a journey!<br /> Her sympathy, intelligence, and wits make me feel seen, understood, supported, and most importantly provides an incredible sense of perspective that feels like a deep breath of fresh air.<br /> Leslie’s style is friendly, warm, interactive, and metaphorical.<br /> I highly recommend her to people like me who are self reflected and enthralled by the power of metaphors to understand emotions.”
